Introducing the ESCI Champions 2025 – 2027!
This round attracted more participation and applicant institutions than ever, highlighting the commitment of higher education institutions to easing student mobility in Europe.
European Student Card Initiative Champions are higher education institutions and organisations that have made significant progress in adopting the different building blocks of the European Student Card Initiative (ESCI).
In doing so, they are supporting the digitalisation and simplification of administrative processes in Erasmus+ mobility.
Ambassadors of the ESCI community
The newly appointed ESCI Champions will serve a two-year term. Their role ranges from supporting ESCI by participating in meetings and national events, to outreach activities like sharing testimonials and best practices with their peers, to contributing to shaping ESCI developments.
Categories
In this role they will represent the ESCI community, whose energy and commitment were reflected in the quality of the applications received in each of the three ESCI Champions categories:
- Implementation of Erasmus Without Paper (EWP)
- Implementation of the European Student Card (ESC)
- Champions of Excellence, that demonstrate exceptional implementation of both ESC and EWP
Who are the latest champions?
The selected champions include higher education institutions and student unions from across the European Education Area that have demonstrated an outstanding implementation of ESCI.
Nominations were submitted by the Digital Officers of Erasmus+ National Agencies and evaluated by DG EAC. One ESCI Champion was selected per National Agency.
What’s next?
A kick-off meeting of the ESCI champions 2025-2027 will take place in Gothenburg, Sweden, on 9 September, in the lead-up to the EAIE conference .
In the coming months, this site will be featuring more on the work of the ESCI Champions, showcasing good practice testimonials on the implementation of ESCI components, and the ESCI community at large.
We would like to take this opportunity to thank all the institutions that applied for the ESCI Champions 2025-2027 call. Your work and commitment are essential to the success of the initiative. We look forward to continuing our work with you!
